Students at a New York college haven’t bothered to show up for diversity discussion circles they pressured the school to create.

Like many schools, Ithaca College was rocked last fall by protests from student activists who claimed the college had a hostile racist environment, and wasn’t providing adequate transparency for students. Activists even successfully pressured president Tom Rochon into announcing that he will resign next July.

In an effort to appease the students, the school agreed to henceforth hold regular discussion circles where attendees could talk about issues of racism, inclusion and diversity on campus.

But for all the student outrage, apparently there is little to no actual interest in attending diversity discussions. According to The Ithacan, 30 people attended a discussion circle Sept. 4, and exactly zero of them were students. Even fewer people attended another meeting Sept. 11, and once again not one was a student. Instead, the discussions have solely been the domain of school employees.

The article linked inside the link above noted that most attendees are faculty. It makes me wonder if the student protesters out there demanding the forum were protesting as a graded exercise; a homework project, as it were. And that the “studies” faculty who assigned this have vastly overestimated their impact upon their students.
